4 INSTALLATION - Bracket You can install the unit on the top of a dash or from an overhead with the supplied bracket. It can also be installed in the dash with an optional IDA- 3 or IDA-4 mounting kit. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interested in the optional GBSA-1 swivel bracket kit. This converts the gimbal bracket to a swivel mount[...]

5 PERMANENT MOUNT TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION The HS-WSPC supplied with your sonar is a transom mount transducer. It can be installed on any outboard or stern-drive (inboardoutboard) powered boat. The “kick-up” mounting bracket helps prevent damage if the transducer strikes an object while the boat is moving. If the transducer does “kick- up”,[...]

6 4. If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wiring on the boat. Electrical noise from engine wiring, bilge pumps, and areators can be displayed on the sonar’s screen. Use caution when routing the trans- ducer cable around these wires. 2. Slide the transducer betw een the two ratchets . T emporally slide the bolt though the transd[...]

Again, chec k to see if y[...]

8 4. Hold the transducer and brac k et assemb ly against the transom. The transducer should be roughly parallel to the g round. The bottom of the transducer brac k et should be in line with the bottom of the hull. Don't let the brac k et e xtend belo w the hull! Mark the center of the slots f or the mounting holes. Dr ill tw o 5/32" holes[...]

If possible , route the tr ansducer cable a wa y from other wiring on the boat. Electr ical noise from the engine’ s wiring, bilge pumps, VHF radio wires and cab les can be pic k ed[...]

10 POWER CONNECTIONS -PERMANENT MOUNT UNITS ONLY IMPORTANT! INSTALL THE TRANSDUCER BEFORE WIRING THE POWER CABLE! The Fish ID 128 works from a 12 volt DC system only. For the best results, run the power cable directly to the boat’s battery. Keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, especially the engine’s wires. This will give the best [...]

13 Clean the chosen area of the hull before attaching the suction cup. Locate the transducer on the hull as shown below. Don't allow the bracket to go below the hull, as water pressure against it can cause the suction cup to come off at speed. Moisten the cup, then press it onto the hull as firmly as possible. Tie the nylon cord to the boat an[...]

14 KEYBOARD BASICS The unit sounds a tone when you press any key. This tells you the unit has accepted a command. PWR/CLEAR Use this key to turn the unit on and off. It also clears menu selections and the menus from the screen. Note! To turn the unit off, press and HOLD the PWR/CLEAR down. A countdown from 3 seconds ap- pears on the screen when you[...]

15 NOTE: Turning the unit off erases all user settings and it returns to the system defaults. For example, if you turn the lights on, then turn the unit off, the next time you turn the unit on, the lights will be off, since the default setting for the lights is off. MENUS This sonar unit uses menus to guide you through the unit’s functions and fe[...]

16 RANGE You can’t adjust the range when the auto- matic mode is on. It is adjustable when the unit is in the manual mode, however. To do so, first put the unit in the manual mode. Now press a menu key until the “RANGE SEL” menu appears as shown at right. The current range shows at the bottom of the menu. In this case, the range is 60 feet. N[...]

17 SENSITIVITY The sensitivity menu lets you control the unit’s ability to pick up echoes. A low sensitivity level excludes much of the bottom information, fish signals, and other detail. High sensitivity settings lets you see features, but it can also clutter the screen with noise and other unwanted signals. Typically, the best sensitivity level[...]

18 floats, air bubbles, etc. Individual tree limbs extending outwards from a group of limbs are the hardest objects for the Fish ID feature to distinguish from fish. You may see Fish ID symbols on the screen when, in fact, there are no fish. Practice with the unit when the Fish ID feature is on and off to become more familiar with Fish ID. To turn [...]

19 CHART SPEED The rate echoes scroll across the screen is called the chart speed. It’s adjustable by pressing a menu key until the chart speed menu appears. Chart speed is set to maxi- mum when the unit is first turned on. To decrease it, press the down arrow key. Press the up arrow key to increase the speed again. The percentage of chart speed [...]

20 ALARMS FISH ALARM The Fish Alarm sounds a tone when a fish symbol appears on the screen. To use the fish alarm, press a menu key until the “FISH ALARM” menu appears on the screen. Now press the up arrow key to turn the alarm on. Repeat the above steps to turn the alarm off. SHALLOW ALARM The shallow alarm is triggered only by the bottom sign[...]

21 LIGHTS The display is backlighted for night use. To turn the backlights on or off, press a menu key repeatedly until the back light menu appears. Now press the up arrow to turn the lights on or the down arrow to turn them off. The menu will clear automatically after a few seconds. FEET/METER This unit can show the depth in feet or meters When th[...]

22 automatically after a few seconds or press the PWR/CLEAR key to clear the screen. ASP (Advanced Signal Processing) ASP is a program embedded in the computer that is specifically designed to eliminate noise. It continually monitors the signals from the receiver, determines which echoes are noise and rejects them. This allows true target echoes to[...]

24 One of the best ways to get fish arches is to expand or “zoom” a segment of the water. For example, from 45 to 60 feet. The smaller the segment, the better the screen resolution will be. The easiest way to do this is with the Zoom feature. This feature expands the echoes, making it easier to see detail. For the best results, turn the sensiti[...]

Also check the wiring. 2. Make certain the power cable is wired properly. The red wire connects to the positive battery terminal, black to negative or ground. 3. Ch[...]

26 Unit freezes, locks up, or operates erratically: 1. Electrical noise from the boat’s motor, trolling motor, or an accessory may be interfering with the sonar unit. Rerouting the power and transducer cables away from other electrical wiring on the boat may help. Route the sonar unit’s power cable directly to the battery instead of through a f[...]

27 rejection feature. This can cause the unit to eliminate weaker signals such as fish or even structure from the display. Try using resistor spark plugs or routing the sonar unit’s power and transducer cables away from other electrical wiring on the boat. No fish arches when the Fish ID feature is off: 1. Make certain transducer is pointing stra[...]

28 unit’s power cable and transducer cable away from the wiring that is causing the interference. VHF radio antenna cables radiate noise when transmitting, so be certain to keep the sonar’s wires away from it. You may need to route the sonar unit’s power cable directly to the battery to isolate it from other wiring on the boat. If no noise di[...]
